Elk Hunter's Strategy App app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Roe Hunting Resources
First release : 01 Aug 2011
App size: 46.66 Mb
First released in 2011, the Elk Hunters Strategy App was developed by professional and degreed wildlife biologist, elk behavior and communication expert, and accomplished elk hunter, Chris Roe, and incorporates decades of experience and education on elk biology, behavior, vocalizations, communication, hunting strategies, and set-ups, and puts that information right at your fingertips.
You can find yourself in literally HUNDREDS of different scenarios out in the field. The Elk Hunters Strategy App helps you hone in on the best strategy, setup, and vocalization(s) you should use in your particular scenario. The beauty of the App, however, is that it goes beyond just telling you WHAT to do, it EDUCATES you.
We teach you about the various bull and cow vocalizations: what they sound like, what they mean, and how to reproduce them. We also provide commentary on behavioral and seasonal considerations: why the bulls and/or cows are acting that way, in that particular situation, to help you better understand what is going on with the elk at that time.
The Elk Hunters Strategy App is as much about your long-term education in elk hunting and elk calling as it is a short-term reference to help you decide what to do in the moment.
Look at some of the amazing features you get in the Elk Hunter’s Strategy App:
• Powerful, information packed resource that can be used anytime, anywhere you have your device, whether in the off-season to prepare for an upcoming hunt, in hunting camp getting ready for your next outing, or on the fly and in the “heat of the moment.”
• Extremely intuitive, responsive, and dynamic
• It helps you to understand elk behavior and communication to improve future hunts.
• Includes a discussion of the behavioral considerations of each scenario, multiple strategies for each scenario (passive, targeted and aggressive strategies), suggestions on how you should set up, and a discussion of how and when to use cow and/or bull vocalizations in that particular scenario.
• Includes a Glossary of all of the cow and bull vocalizations you’ll ever need. Through the Glossary, we teach you what each vocalization sounds like and how to reproduce it through the use of written descriptions, audio and video* files through which Chris discusses the vocalization and the best calls to use to reproduce it, and videos* showing actual elk making the vocalization.
Elk season will be here before you know it; this is one hunting resource you do NOT want to be without!
*Videos require an internet connection. All other resources are downloaded to the device and are accessible without any internet connection.
Latest reviews of Elk Hunter's Strategy App app for iPhone and iPad
This app has good info, but super repetitive.
New to elk hunting, I followed this apps advice and was able to call a herd bull into 15yds which my wife promptly spooked.
This application is probably one of the most useful of all of the techy gadgets there are available to the modern day elk hunter. When it comes to Elk hutning in the Rocky Mountains, no amount of high tech gear can help you if you don’t have a plan. Without a plan you are just hoping to get lucky. This application helps you formulate a Strategy based on a series of questions about your specific situation. It covers just about every scenario you can think of and it gives you detailed suggestions for how to approach each situation. It breaks down the time of day your hunting, whether or not you know where the elk are or not, and then gives a few possible strategies for each situation. One of my favorite features is simply the glossary of elk sounds, it gives you a list of the types of sounds and a details explanation of how it sounds, what it is for ( what are they saying) and how you should attempt to recreate that sound. Absolutely LOVE the glossary! As far as compatibility I have not had a single problem related to this app with my iPod touch.
This is freakin sweet! Half the info in here cant be bought in a single $30 book! Cant wait to use it here in the next couple weeks!!! Time to slay some Elk!
I must say, for those of us starting out, like myself, this is a great tool. Its like having a paid professional right there with you without paying $$$$. Great tool!
